I don't understand for a second those who state that "if he starts preaching again . . ." (as in the pulpit) NO NO NEVER NO NOT EVER, THERE IS NO CIRCUMSTANCE, OVERSIGHT, RESTORAL that can EVER allow him into the pulpit nor church leadership EVER AGAIN.
I am all for restoral but restoration is 1. to God and 3. Family 3, To the church and 4, to friends but never is restoral of relationship a restoral to position. You must understand that it is the pride of the position that allows the iniquity that permits the transgression. You NEVER place a person back into that or similar position again. This has been the problem going back generations of the IFB churches and many other churches. Lack of true biblical church discipline along with proper restoration. Is we aren't disciplining we aren't restoring and we have created a myriad of problems born our in multiple generations because the word of God was not followed and Lawyers words were.
There is no oversight nor accountability nor that gives any church the ability to restore him to position and the true humility of repentance and restoration would also make him eschew it. If he would allow it it would prove repentance was a façade to gain it. Yes it is circular but nonetheless true at every point.
If he wants to preach find a street corner. If he wants a pulpit run him out on a rail.
Watch for a tie into this one also. There has been much many rumors concerning its founder and his similar goal upon release stated in filings that were done when he was trying for an early compassionate release. You may recognize the main player and then it all fits together like a glove.
